Markets · Options
Every structure priced, every Greek in view.
Calls, puts and multi-leg strategies on one ticket. The volatility surface, the Greeks and a scenario grid sit beside the order, on the same margin graph as your futures and spot.
Overview
Direction, time and volatility in one instrument
An option prices more than direction. Its value depends on time to expiry, on the level and shape of implied volatility and on the path the underlying takes. Understanding a position means seeing all of these at once — and seeing them again for the whole portfolio after the trade.
On ORBITRA ONE™ each strategy is entered, priced and risk-checked as a single package. Aegis aggregates Greeks and scenario losses across options, futures and spot, and every leg of a structure executes together on ApexMatch or through an accepted RFQ quote.
Capabilities
The options toolkit
- 01
Calls and puts
Listed series across strikes and expiries, with exercise style and settlement terms defined for each series.
- 02
Strategy tickets
Verticals, straddles, strangles, butterflies, condors and custom structures entered as one ticket and priced as a package.
- 03
Volatility surfaces
Implied volatility by strike and expiry, with skew and term structure drawn from the order book and Prism reference data.
- 04
Greeks
Delta, gamma, vega and theta per leg, per position and for the whole portfolio, updated as the market moves.
- 05
Scenario and stress
Revalue the portfolio across price, volatility and time shocks, before and after a proposed trade.
- 06
RFQ for structures
Request quotes on complex multi-leg packages from liquidity providers; an accepted quote fills every leg in one transition.
Lifecycle
The life of an options strategy
- 01
Select
Choose individual series or start from a defined-risk template.
- 02
Price
Theoretical value, implied volatility and Greeks appear for each leg and for the package.
- 03
Simulate
Aegis calculates margin, maximum loss where it is defined and a scenario grid for the post-trade portfolio.
- 04
Execute
The package fills on the book or through an accepted RFQ quote, with all legs settled together.
- 05
Manage
Greeks stream continuously, and optional automated hedging keeps exposure inside the limits you set.
- 06
Expire
Exercise, assignment or cash settlement follows published rules against the Prism reference price, with a signed record.
Protection
Controls built around convexity
Selling options can create losses far larger than the premium received. These controls keep that exposure visible, and bounded where you choose.
- 01
Defined-risk templates
Vertical spreads, butterflies, condors and collars, each with its maximum loss stated before submission.
- 02
Automated hedging
Delta hedging runs inside explicit limits on size, frequency and instruments, and stops when a limit is reached.
- 03
Scenario-based margin
Margin on short options reflects price and volatility scenarios across the portfolio, not a flat percentage of notional.
- 04
Expiry rules
Exercise thresholds, settlement timing and reference sources are published for each series before it trades.
- 05
Price reasonability
Orders priced far outside the theoretical range are rejected before they reach the book.
